Default ($22) AK in the buttom, sandwiched

What do you think?
No reads, pretty early.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t25/t50
7 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1485
UTG+1: t1640
MP1: t2005
CO: t2675
Hero: t1310
SB: t2885
BB: t1500

Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds,
<font color="#cc0000">MP1 raises to t150</font>,
CO folds
Hero?

I decided to just call. AK with position, few chips to steal and I guess he might build a pot for me if I hit the flop.

calls t150 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t225)</font>

but them
<font color="#cc0000">SB raises to t250</font>
BB folds
MP1 calls t100
<font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t575)</font>
Hero?

Now I have some information, sharkscope labels villain as a huge loser 136 -$8 $19 -35% -$1,090
Hero?
Am I sandwiched?
Nopz. Thatīs 575 are attractive. I am sandwiching.

<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t1310</font>

Comments?

Out of curiousity, which villain did you discover to be the big donator? Also, is anyone else a little worried about that minraise? If that's not seen as a concern, I see this as a good push because you seem to be low on chips relative to everyone else and you're getting great odds on the pot.

If SB is the donator, he calls you close 100% of the time...usually with a worse A...so if MP1 didn't call, it's an easy push, however, SB's min-raise doesn't allow you narrow MP1's range at all...with 575 in the pot, I think you push this and cross-your fingers...

If it were UTG who open raised and then just called, I would be scared, but would I behave differently???

Huumm ... I disagree that Iīm low on chips. I mean, youīre right about the fact: I am dead last in 7th. But I still have over 20xBB, I still have some folding equity, I still have plenty of time to maneuver.

In higher levels or deeper in that tourney, the mini-raise would look more scary to me. The huge donator was the mini-raiser himself. To me, his mini-raise looks fishy: would an AA plays that way from the blinds, against a raise and a caller? Not rightfully so. I think AA would like to isolate and put more money in the pot, for sure.

And my push would look scary to them.
Thatīs what I did. Both fold and the original raiser at MP1 went nuts, blaming the blind play and saying that he folded QQ.
